Pros:works well, doesn't break you out
Cons:EXTREMELY oily/ greasy shine!! expensive, hard to find
Bottom Line:this stuff did wonders for my skin. but now in the spring and summer, it is EXTREMELY oily to the point where even my guy friends asked me why my face is so oily. SO embarasing... a greasy SLIME especially after u sweat. its amazing how shiny and oily this makes ur skin. i recently switched to cerave and the slime was gone overnight.

Pros:Extremely gentle, non-fragrant
Cons:The very light texture is only a con for me during the cold, dry Canadian winter. Something a little richer would last longer.
Bottom Line:I love this product's gentleness on my acne prone chin area. My regime is wash with "Spectogel for sensitive skin", apply "Complex 15", and then, the last step, apply BP 8% to problem area. "Complex 15" is very light, and it penetrates the skin quickly. I only wait a few seconds before applying my BP 8%.

Someone suggested in a previous review that the USA version of "Complex 15" is different than the Canadian. I tested both, and found absolutely no difference. It's cheaper in the USA though.

Complex 15 is so light I use it around my eyes too.

Pros:portable container
Cons:breaks me out every time
Bottom Line:Don't know why, but this gives me big, cystic zits. Sorry to rain on the review parade, but it really messes my skin up, and I've used the process of elimination to ensure that it is this--it is.
Recommended:No
Usage:Jessica has used this item for a few months.

Pros:I have been using this moisturizer for over 15 years when it was recommended by my dermatologist as I suffered from adult acne in my late 30's. It is light and dissolves easily. I remained faithful all these years. Could only find it at CVS until...
Cons:CVS recently stopped carrying it. They seemed to have replaced it with Ceptaphil's new moisturizer, which I was forced to buy, when I couldn't find my old standby. I find Cetaphil's mositurizer to be sticky and bad for my sensitive skin.
Bottom Line:Thank God for the internet where I have found the best product for my still oily, and sensitive skin again. I will now be purchasing Complex 15 by the half dozen to stockpile so that I NEVER have to suffer again!

Pros:Provides excellent moisturization; does not irritate or cause hyper-sensitive skin to redden; price is fantastic; makes face feel smooth as silk; found at local drugstore (CVS); fragrance free; hypoallergenic; noncomedogenic
Cons:Can't think of any!
Bottom Line:Great moisturizer at a fantastic price. Contains phospholipids which keep skin moist and balanced. I use the Jan Marini Bioglycolic cleanser, Dan's BP and the Complex 15 moisturizer. This combination is highly effective for me and keeps any sort of acne at bay. I am almost 40 years old and people think I look like I'm in my 20's. They comment on my "beautiful" skin. After years of having acne/oily skin with many trips to the dermatologist and trying so many prescriptions that never worked, I have finally found success with these three over the counter products. I only wish it hadn't taken so long to figure this all out!!!

Pros:No smell, great consistency, extremely affordable.
Cons:Not available at Walgreens or CVS.
Bottom Line:I can't believe I had never heard of this wonderful product before, or how much money I had wasted on other expensive creams in the past. I have rosacea, and extremely dry/sensitive skin, and after using it for ONE WEEK (seriously, that's it so far) my skin looks so much better.
